Styrofoam, and other one time use disposable items, can account for up to 50% of waste coming out of an office environment.
Styrofoam, or expanded polystyrene, does not biodegrade and is potentially harmful to the natural environment when littered. Try implementing a Styrofoam Fee jar at your workplace and have people pay a penalty of $1-$5 for bringing Styrofoam into the office.
Alternatives to Styrofoam are widely available and easy to use. Consider bringing your own reusable container with you when you go out for lunch. Alternatively, check out our EcoClamshell.
